It's been 29 years since Rick Springfield scored a No. 1 hit with his catchy anthem of unrequited love, "Jesse's Girl." Unlike the architects of many '80s hits, however, he has not slipped quietly into the "Where-are-they-now?" files.

In 2012, Springfield - who will perform Aug. 30 at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa - released his 18th studio album, "Songs for the End of the World." He also has in recent years reprised his fame-cementing turn as Dr. Noah Drake on the daytime drama "General Hospital," returning to the set this year in celebration of the show's 50th anniversary.
